MusicBrainz lookups don't work if the URL has a query

[UltimateRiff]

I think the only common case where MusicBrainz will have a query in the URL is if Picard is open. it should be safe to remove everything after the ? on MusicBrainz URLs

example
https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/release/actions?release_mbid=4d8917e9-d17f-42b9-9bc2-917cd4d31b5e?tport=8000

You can do a release lookup for an MB URL with a tport (or any other) query parameter.
Your example is a badly constructed Release Actions link, the parameter should contain just an MBID, but whatever tool constructed this link didn't properly extract the MBID from the URL.

That said, I have already thought about making the Release Actions more of a regular page which you can visit and use to lookup MB releases (rather than it being a hidden page where you get redirected to). So I think I will repurpose this ticket to make the page easier to access and to have an MBID input field which is more forgiving about the format.

P.S. Ticket #100, yay 🎉

ah, that link is from RustyNova's userscript. I can create a ticket over there then~

The home page and the (empty) release actions page now have an MBID input which also accepts release URLs (7c5770f), although not in the crippled format from the example. Released yesterday.
